Meet Dr. Michael Daniels, the current College-wide Chair for Business & Computer Science programs at Eastern Florida State College. Michael's humility, experience in education, and community involvement are what separate him from the pack in this race for Orange County School Board, District 3.
Parent Engagement in College and Career Planning. As a parent of two OCPS graduates, I have had first hand experience witnessing the stellar education provided by this district. Thankfully we have the best teachers! One area we can continue to grow is engaging our parents and students in all of their options as they move into upper high school and their post graduation path. We must work with all students to provide course options to help them achieve their goals. Although AP classes are a good fit for some students, we must also eagerly share other options such as our top-notch technical academies and dual enrollment programs. To provide students and parents with all of their course options, I believe we can achieve this by creating a database of accessible information, offering information sessions district wide, and helping to create a plan that is best for meeting student goals.
